RUN THE JEWELS UNVEIL "LEGEND HAS IT" VIDEO

Rap super-duo Run The Jewels have premiered "Legend Has It", the first video (of many to come) from their universally lauded album Run The Jewels 3. Directed by esteemed talent and old compatriot Brian Beletic (who previously helmed El-P's classic "Deep Space 9mm" video), the clip portrays the duo in a police lineup, which they suspect might just be a set up. The acid they just dropped isn't helping, either.

Director Brian Beletic states: "The video for
'Legend Has It' plays with the theme of guilty until proven innocent. We
live in a world where the stronger the truth the greater the
opposition. In this story EL-P and Killer Mike are in a police lineup
and the cards are stacked heavily against them. But why is that?" Run
the Jewels offer that "this video is a worst nightmare scenario. High on
acid and caught in the system. Pitted against icons of innocence in a
police line up that doesn't feel real. No bunnies were hurt in the
making of this video." The duo also capped last week with a ferocious
performance of "Legend Has It" on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/YXm_Ch6oUrQ

The group's epic Run The World tour is set to kick off phase 2 with a sold out UK & European leg.
This follows a barn-burning 36 date North American jaunt that resulted
in sold out shows from coast-to-coast in venues nearly twice the size of
those that hosted the Run The Jewels 2 tour. The capstone was a string of four sold out shows at NYC's Terminal 5
(just the 3rd act ever to accomplish this remarkable superfecta). And
to top it off, the band also unveiled their own beer for the NYC dates,
the Stay Gold IPA, brewed in collaboration with Brooklyn's Interboro Brewing, as well as a mashup with Interboro and Burial Beer in North Carolina to celebrate the launch of craft beer website, October (https://oct.co/articles/run-jewels-puts-extra-hops-their-hip-hop) with another sold out show at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC.

The duo will embark on a run of Summer festival dates (including Lollapalooza, Primavera Sound, Rolling Loud, Boston Calling, FYF Fest, Best Kept Secret, Forecastle & many more), a monumental headlining show at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, and direct support at Eminem's gargantuan Glasgow show in August. A full list of dates & additional information is below. To purchase tickets, visit runthejewels.com.

The group is also excited to release an update to their groundbreaking app, ARTJ, an Augmented Reality-based platform rolled out in January with the release of RTJ3.
Art from the the album and beyond, including vinyl, CD, posters,
stickers, shirts, & digital images, unlock customized content on
user's phones when pointed at the image. The app features a growing
cache of original content from RTJ visual allies Tim Saccenti, Hectah Arias, Nick Gazin, Ruff Mercy, Ryo Tanzawa, and moreTBA). The ARTJ app can be downloaded here: http://rtj3.io/ARTJPR.

Additionally, Run The Jewels will be dropping limited edition screen printed LP tote bags for Record Store Day, replete with golden pistol & fist pin set. The bag also comes with a free download of the demo version of "Panther Like A Panther", initially accessible via the ARTJ app only. This version of the track is featured along with the RTJ gameplay characters in the hit video game, Gears or War 4 (XBOX), and the album version is featured in the trailer for the new Fate of the Furious motion picture.
